Description
When
webgl_postprocessing_material_aowas added two years ago, it was an interesting demo that showed how AO is computed with a pre-pass and then used as an input in the beauty pass to achieve a more physically correct result. However, the fact that custom materials likeMeshPostProcessingMaterialare required was a major downside. Hence, it was more of an experimental demo to me.Now that we can use proper pre-passes with
WebGPURenderer(see #32276), we have a more robust solution that requires no custom materials or shader patching from the user side. I think it's more beneficial to guide developers towebgpu_postprocessing_aoif they need a physically correct setup instead ofwebgl_postprocessing_material_aowhich is removed by this PR.
